<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG>  - convert a <EM>terminfo</EM> description into a <EM>termcap</EM>
       description


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG> [<STRONG>-v</STRONG><EM>n</EM> <EM>width</EM>]  [<STRONG>-V</STRONG>] [<STRONG>-1</STRONG>] [<STRONG>-w</STRONG> <EM>width</EM>] <EM>file</EM> . . .


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG> looks in <EM>file</EM> for  <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>  descriptions.   For
       each one found, an equivalent <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> description is writ-
       ten to standard output.   Terminfo  <STRONG>use</STRONG>  capabilities  are
       translated directly to termcap <STRONG>tc</STRONG> capabilities.

       <STRONG>-v</STRONG>   print  out  tracing  information on standard error as
            the program runs.

       <STRONG>-V</STRONG>   print out the version of the program in use on  stan-
            dard error and exit.

       <STRONG>-1</STRONG>   cause  the fields to print out one to a line.  Other-
            wise, the fields will be printed several to a line to
            a maximum width of 60 characters.

       <STRONG>-w</STRONG>   change the output to <EM>width</EM> characters.
